About this map

Living Springs serves as the primary landmark in this section of Wheatland County, Montana, situated at the intersection of Living Springs Rd and 12 E 116 N. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and seasonal watercourses, including the central Timber Cr and Elk Cr which flow across the high plains.

A series of gravel roads and section lines, such as Upper Nihill Rd and Lower Nihill Rd, reveal the grid-like organization of the rural ranching territory. These routes connect isolated holdings like those found along Lammers Ln, providing a detailed view of the 21st-century infrastructure in a region where water sources like Blake Cr and Little Careless Cr have long dictated the placement of homesteads and grazing boundaries.
